About This Item
VG / brand new facsimile dust jacket. 1934 Dodd, Mead & Co., first US edition. Hardcover with facsimile jacket. A rare Christie title that was released first in the U.S., then in England a year later under the title 'Three Act Tragedy'. Most of the issues with book are minor cosmetic ones, and they are evident in the accompanying photos - sun faded spine; scrape to rear board. Book is sharp and square & looks lovely on the shelf in its vibrant new facsimile dust jacket.
Synopsis
Dame Agatha Christie is the world’s best-known mystery writer. Her books have sold over two billion copies worldwide and have been translated into 44 foreign languages. During a writing career that spanned more than half a century, she created two of the world’s most famous detectives. Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. The author of 79 novels and short story collections, she was also an accomplished playwright--one of her 14 plays, The Mousetrap , is the longest-running play in history. She published six romantic novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott and wrote four non-fiction books, including an autobiography. Several of her books, including Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile , were made into hugely successful films. She died in 1976.
